night soil, garbave, etc., one of the objectsv ol the invention ieing to reduce the cost of construction; to provide means wherebyl thel crematnry can becharged with garbage or the like Without necessitating the opening of the main door and the consequent loes of heat; and to provide means whereby the etliciency ofthe crematory is increased by:

utilizing the waste heat for the purpose of preheating air prior to its admission to the combustion chamber.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as they description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed. it being under-spoed that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, can be made within the scope of what is claimed, With'-l out departing from the spirit of the inven tion.

ln the aoeonipan ing drawinga'the preferred form of t e invention has been shown.

In said drawings z-Figure 1 is a central vertical longitudinal section through the crematon said section being taken on the line A Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a central 'vertical transverse section through the crematory, said section being taken on the line D Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on line E-T-F, Fig. l. Fig. 4 is a. sec ion on line (Jl-dl, Fig. 3.

Referring to the figures by characters of reference l designates an incinernting chamber having a runway 2 in the bottom thereof provided with rails 3 on which a car 4 is adapted to travel. The top of, the cui' is adapted to lic in thc same plane with u platforni 5 vformed within one side portion of the incineratiult;l chamber' and extending from the front wall (3 of the rear walls i' thereof. grate H is located at or adjacent the renter of the platform and a fuel door 9 is located al, the outer cnd of the grate.

Stoke doors l0 can be arranged in the side l'to the front and back ends thereof. Dampers 14 are arranged in these flues so that the flow of gases therethrough can be controlled. A iartition 15 is arranged under the center o the stack and between the flues 12. as shown in Figs. 1 and 3.

The incinerating chamber is provided with the usual arched top or dome 16 which extends over the platform 5 and grate 8 and arranged above this top or dom-e 16 is a jacket 17 forming an air passage 18 which extends over the entire top 16, oneend of the passage being open, as shown at 19, while the' other end of the passage communicates with downwardly extending fines 2O opening.r into a horizontally extendingr flue 21. Airoutlet passa s 22 extend from the end ortions of the ue 21 and into the end wal s 6 and 7. Air spaces or pockets 23am formed in certain of the walls, as shown.

The front and back walls 6 and 7 and the sidewalls 24 of the furnace are extended upwardly above the top 1G and have a deaired number of fresh air inlets 25 which can be closed by suitable doors 26. A superstructure 27 suitably reinforced is supported by-the walls 24 and' above the top or dome 16 so that an nir chamber 28 is thus formed between the side walls of the crematory and between the said superstructure 27' andthe jacket 17 and top or dome 16.

Arranged within the top of the crematory and above grate 8 is a charging chute 29, as shown in Fig. Arranged within the rear' end wall of the crematory is another chute 30 the lowesl end of which rejects into the incinerating elranfrber l an is adapted to overhang the car l. This chute 30 is particularly designed for directing night soil onto the car.

A door 31 is provided for closing the frorlt of the inciuerating chamber lifter thc cnrJ-t has been placed therein, it being understood that the runwa)r 2 und the rails 32 therein extend through theidoor opening and t points outside of the creuintory so that the cai' can he drawn from the crematory and brought to position lwhere it can he con- 16mm@ iwiy with* the charging cimiteri described1 w; im' the L :if heat i'csuli. i: um thv@ constant m g in "ammi iii-10W mais @ya mg; :and closing; ot di@ iii-ain dimi' is Qi? im swfiia..

4. A crematory including an incinerating chamber having a runway `within one side portion thereof, outlet iinee in said side portion, er platform aloner the other side of the chamber, there being air inlets at the ends of the plntformra grate extending into the platform adjacent the center of one side, an nir chamber above the inciueruting chamber and having a fresh air inlet, means for directiu fresh air along a tortuons path within sai chamber and to the inlets ut the ends of the platform, thereby to preheat the air, and

means for directing material to be incinerated, into the chamber at a point in the path of the air currents iesniney from the inlets; and the gases arising' from the grate, said air currents :and eases being adapted to flow t0 one or both oi' the fines 1n the side of the incineraling chamber, Said air inlets at the ends of the platform beingr so arranged as to direct the inlowing air in a direction transverse to the direction of flow of the gases `through the incinerating chamber.

In testimony that l. claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto allixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses. l
